ELKMONT IN THE NAVY

Austin Moss and BJ Moss, two more of our Elkmont graduates, decided to join the Navy.  They are following in their older brothers' footsteps.  Austin and BJ both went to Navy Boot Camp at Naval Station Great Lakes in Illinois.  As their proud families looked on, these two Elkmont sailors graduated August 22.

Each year approximately 38,000 men and women complete the requirements to become enlisted Navy Sailors at the Navy’s only boot camp. Naval Station Great Lakes is also home to the Navy's technical training schools for surface warfare excellence supported by Training Support Center Great Lakes. Yearly, more than 13,000 students attend these initial and advanced training schools where they learn the basic skills of their Navy jobs.

BJ is in Division 259, Ship 14.  He and his lovely bride, Corina,  will be posted to Charleston, South Carolina for the next two years.  As a Nuclear Electronic Engineer, BJ will be going into the field of Nuclear Reactors.
